One of the most memorable driver, sponsor, and paint scheme pairings in NASCAR® history will be making a triumphant return to the track later this season.

After an incredible stretch of success in the NASCAR Cup Series® with a No. 8 Chevrolet sponsored by Budweiser, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will once again wheel that iconic livery on his Late Model Stock Car at Florence Motor Speedway.

Dale Jr. started his NASCAR Hall of Fame® career in the NASCAR Cup Series® behind the wheel of the iconic red No. 8 in 1999. Through his two-win rookie season in 2000 and for the next seven seasons, Dale Jr. was one of the biggest stars in the sport and collected a total of 17 wins with a Bud-backed Chevrolet.

From 2008 to now, Dale Jr.'s fans have not seen their favorite driver pursue Victory Lane in a Budweiser-backed car. That will all change in the 32nd Annual South Carolina 400 at Florence in Timmonsville, South Carolina. In continuation of his post-NASCAR Cup Series® career that has seen him take on various Late Model events in the Southeast in recent seasons, Dale Jr. will battle with the top short trackers in the country on Saturday, November 23 with his Budweiser No. 8 ride.

Now, Lionel Racing is ready to celebrate with Dale Jr.'s legions of fans by offering the official die-cast replica of the No. 8 Budweiser Late Model. This memorable Dale Jr. Late Model die-cast is offered as part of a numbered, limited edition.
